All that being said by Fetch and Garland aside, this is still a pretty dumb signing by the Natinals

They overpaid but this deal isn’t nearly as bad as the Howard deal, for a number of reasons. It’s a little more excusable to overpay a free agent when competing with other teams for his services. Overpaying for a player you have under control for two more years before he hits the market is just dumb. It’s reasonable to assume Werth is going to age much better than Howard based on their skill sets and *ahem* body types. Also, competent defensive OFs>>>>>terrible defensive first baseman

t’s one thing to put up nice stats surrounded by Rollins, Utley, and Howard … can he do the same surrounded by Dunn and Zimmerman?

first of all, what?

Second of all, this isn’t as bad as Howard’s deal.

When you’re a shitty MLB team you have to offer laughable contracts to bring players in. Good for Jayson, though. He wasn’t getting that money anywhere else.
